Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern â the sensation of something striking in the throat and upper chest with watery reflux for two days may indicate acid reflux (GERD), irritation of the esophagus, or mild infection
â
Advices
⢠Avoid spicy, oily, or acidic foods and eat smaller meals more frequently
⢠Do not lie down immediately after eating; wait at least 2â3 hours
⢠Elevate the head of your bed slightly while sleeping to prevent reflux
What to Monitor
⢠Watch for worsening burning sensation, difficulty swallowing, persistent cough, or vomiting
⢠Note any chest pain, shortness of breath, or dark/bloody vomitus
Management
You may try antacids or acid-reducing medications for temporary relief. Avoid self-medicating beyond this, as the exact treatment depends on underlying cause and frequency of symptoms
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠Severe chest pain radiating to arm, jaw, or back
⢠Vomiting blood or black stools
⢠Difficulty swallowing or persistent symptoms beyond a few days
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and lasting relief, it is important to discuss your medical history and symptoms in detail
You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation where you will receive
A personalized treatment plan
Safe medicine adjustments if required
Quick follow-ups to track your recovery
Take care, wishing you good health
Best regards
Dr. Romain Rajan
